21 Ashburton Road, Glen Iris, Vic 3146

Beyond a façade that reflects a whimsical storybook aesthetic, this Tudor-inspired clinker brick beauty reveals impressively vast family spaces, luxurious comforts and the summertime perfection of a swimming pool.

A highly versatile five bedroom, three bathroom design, journey along the richly polished boards past the study with built-in cabinetry and the fire-side lounge to the sun-kissed open-plan dining/family room with fireplace. Designed for inspired entertaining, cook in the family-sized kitchen with stone island and two Neff ovens – pyrolytic and steam. Open the two French doors and head out to spend time with friends on the north-facing alfresco, under-cover for year-round comfort and looking out to the relaxing pool-side cabana with window servery and sink.

Below, the enormous rumpus room with storeroom extends out to the lush garden and pool, accompanied by a bedroom with fully-tiled ensuite, separate access and a covered outdoor area. Views to Mount Macedon provide stunning backdrop to the top-floor master bedroom, featuring a dressing room and a dual-vanity ensuite with a deep tub.

Zoned for Auburn High School and just around the corner from Glen Iris Primary School, wander along leafy streets to Ferndale Park, local cafes and the train station. Only moments from Ashburton Village, Korowa Girls’ School, Sacre Coeur, Caulfield Grammar, Monash University and the freeway.
